Work let out late, babe has started a fight;
no 3 a.m. epiphany tonight.
And I don’t want to write another word
concerning a boy who can’t cut the cord,
who’s self-righteous, avoidant, stubborn, cruel,
who walks like the boss and plays without rules.
I am done waking up alone and afraid
that this blue is the shade of forever
and that learning to see through this has made
no difference at all, that I’m no better
for these sleepless nights or the daylight seen
from under covers in bed waiting for some
scrap of motivation to step on scene,
and provoke something productive to come.
Because I am sick of being the one
you don’t mind to lose, I am beyond done
with this stage of my life, and I’m ready
to leave you behind and be steady, but
I guess it’s better I can’t keep myself whole
and I guess it’s better that nature is
constant around me because even in
its change it has only so many options
and all are familiar and all come back.
With nothing to feel there’s nothing to lack
and with no love there need be no caution
and without empathy we needn’t fear sin
of hurting another for with out all this
the world keeps turning, the only real goal.
Tonight there will be no empathy,
no 3 a.m. epiphany, no late
night apology, no early morning
lesson on loveology because right now
I loose myself of sympathy for that
boy who could not cut that umbilical cord.
Hahahahahahhahahahahahaaaa.

It will probably be only me who finds this humorous.

There are plenty of girls out there just like this too. I know cause I always seem to find them. Love the poem though. Especially the

"Tonight there will be no empathy,
no 3 a.m. epiphany, no late
night apology, no early morning

boy who could not cut that umbilical cord."

that whole section is just wow. I can't really explain why.
